On behalf of alkasir's team, we wish you a happy new year and are happy to inform you that an updated version of alkasir (now 1.4.003) is now available for download at https://alkasir.com/downloads.

We strongly recommend that you delete your old version and install the new one into a fresh and new directory.

Due to excessive usage of the server and some technical issues, alkasir team had to change several parameters and settings to ensure more reliable service to users. Hence, the new build has taken those into consideration to provide a more seamless service.

This is to announce that versions prior to 1.4 will be disabled starting tomorrow, July 10, at midnight. So kindly ensure that you upgrade your current version to 1.4.001 to be able to use Alkasir smoothly.

We have also received some feedback and bug reports. Please continue sending this information as it will help us refine and fix issues with the new version.

We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.4 of Alkasir, which has several important changes to improve the overall functionality of the program. The new version could be downloaded from HERE. You can also get it by sending an email to get@alkasir.com.

We are glad to announce that we are soon releasing an enhanced version of Alkasir that has some significant changes to the way it works. Those changes could make it more stable in countries that have had recent blocking attempts of Alkasir servers. So please if you are not a member of alkasir.com, please register so you could get an update when the version is available.

We have now released a new build for version 1.3, namely 1.3.003 where we fixed several issues geared towards users in Iran and Syria. Those fixes mainly evolve around the connection method to the server to help connect despite potential deep packet inspection.

Thanks to the over a hundred emails that you sent us describing some issues with the new release. We have fixed some bugs tweaked the software and now produced an updated version 1.3 build 2.

Among the changes is the renewal of the port number only after closing Alkasir and not when resuming after hibernation or sleep or when disconnected. This would save the hassle of having to update the browser settings. However, you would still need to update your proxy settings if you close down Alkasir and start it again manually.
